As you study Scripture, you’ll see how covenant laws are not arbitrary stipulations but fixed moral principles which govern the moral order. Moreover, they reflect the inner life of the Blessed Trinity. In short, “covenant” is what God does because “covenant” is who God is. Covenant law is to the moral order of human relations what the laws of nature are to the physical order. We are familiar with certain fixed laws—like gravity—which govern material things like our bodies.
